South park reveiw

The show's style of animation is inspired by paper cut-out cartoons. the standard stop motion technique was used for the show for the pilot episode and few episodes after that until the show was taken to computer animators, giving a similar look and feel to it but only taking a fraction of the time to create. Before it is animated the artists have to draw up the storyboard which still takes a while.
the background is composed of primary shapes and colours, the child characters are the same basic shape but are distinguished by the colour of there hair or hat colour. their movement is choppy and they purposely do not have as much free movement and hand drawn characters to keeep the original south park feel to it. they are all voiced by the same by the same people and guest stars are used as photographic cut outs.
